120: Brother Lin's skill level is about the same as ours, maybe just a little bit better.

So, a few minutes later, the Dragon Country Team and the various European teams conducted an on-field training session together.

The European players had just finished eating the duck and felt as energetic as if they had been injected with duck blood.

Faced with the mysterious Dragon Country Kung Fu, they felt they couldn't afford to be careless.

The European players' veins bulged; many hadn't gone all out like this in years.

In contrast, the Dragon Country Team didn't look intimidated at all.

Their eyes were calm, and their steps were leisurely.

The European players were secretly alarmed; it seemed the Dragon Country players were full of confidence and didn't care about them at all.

It seemed their current strength really shouldn't be underestimated.

However, if they had paid attention to the matches the Dragon Country Team usually participated in, they would have discovered something.

Starting from a few years ago, the Dragon Country players had always been in this state on the field.

Numerous defeats had caused a massive shift in their mindset.

Since they were going to lose anyway, they might as well lose with a calm and carefree attitude.

Every time Coach Chen Qiang saw those faces of theirs, he felt like grinding his teeth to dust.

What "calm and carefree"? What "elegant and easygoing"?

It sounds nice, but they're clearly just thick-skinned!

They act like this every single time; it infuriates him just looking at them!

...After the training had gone on for a while, the European players finally noticed something was wrong.

Although this Dragon Country Team looked impressive, their skills were no different from what they remembered.

In fact, they were even worse than imagined.

After all this time, they hadn't scored a single goal.

It felt like they could win by just playing casually.

The European players finally relaxed their guard.

Messi easily diverted his attention to speak with Neymar.

"My friend, what did I tell you? All that talk about Dragon Country's skills improving rapidly is indeed fake."

"There must be another reason why the Japanese Team Members surrendered; maybe they were just bewitched by their duck."

Neymar licked his lips.

"Buddy, I agree."

"That duck was so fragrant; I just ate it, and now I want more."

"I'm losing the will to play."

Ronaldo was also crushing the Dragon Country players while coming over to talk.

"I've said it many times, haven't I?"

"Coming to Dragon Country this time, I'm just here to eat duck."

"Let me tell you, it's not just the duck; any roadside stall in Dragon Country is delicious."

"Hot Pot, Roujiamo, Roasted Whole Lamb, Dumplings, Malatang, Chuanchuan Xiang... Oh man, they're all so fragrant."

Neymar's mouth was almost watering.

"Really, buddy?"

"Will you take me out for a stroll right now?"

Messi rolled his eyes at the two of them.

"Friends, don't forget our purpose for coming to Dragon Country."

"We traveled thousands of miles to get here, and it wasn't to eat Dragon Country food."

"It was to expose Dragon Country's conspiracy and reveal the truth!"

While Neymar lowered his head in shame, Ronaldo was bewildered.

"What conspiracy?"

"I'm just here to eat duck and Dragon Country food."

"Otherwise, why do you think I ran so fast my shoes fell off to catch the earliest flight to Dragon Country?"

"..."

Messi and Neymar looked at each other and remembered.

Cough... this guy really is here to eat duck... After the training session, the European players had a clear understanding of the situation.

Dragon Country's football level is quite stable; with this, they still want to aim for world number one?

Aiming for world last place would be effortless.

They had scouted the truth, but the rest of the internet, including the Dragon Country people, were still being kept in the dark.

As they gathered to rest, they gnawed on duck while being filled with righteous indignation.

"This is fraud! If we hadn't come to test it personally, we would have almost been fooled by them."

"False advertising; when the real match comes, won't they show their true colors?"

"Hmph, I don't know why Japan surrendered, but when it's their turn to play against other teams, it won't be that easy to bluff their way through."

"Right, isn't it just a duck? So fragrant it makes you lose your mind? Look at us, we've eaten two meals and can still keep a clear head... Delicious, where was I?"

"What do you mean where were you? You said delicious..."

"..."

A moment later, Messi, disappointed in them, sucked hard on the fingers that had just held the duck meat and spoke first.

"No, we can't wait for them to play against other teams; we're going to make the truth public today!"

"In a bit, we'll invite them to play a formal match with us."

"We have family members who came along; let them be responsible for filming and live streaming."

"I just saw that there are Dragon Country media on the field; let's call them over to film as well."

"Let the Dragon Country people know that their football level isn't a hundred years ahead of Europe, but a hundred years behind!"

Everyone's mouths were occupied, so their words were muffled, but they all nodded in agreement.

Before long, they found the Dragon Country players again and expressed their desire to play another match against them.

The Dragon Country players were, of course, flattered.

Wow, in the eyes of these top teams, their status had really risen significantly.

So they immediately agreed.

However, the European players didn't want to make it too troublesome, so they just wanted to play a few 1v1 matches.

After all, there were still many brothers eating meat who didn't want to take the field at all right now.

A European player asked the Dragon Country Team members.

"Brothers, who is the strongest player in your Dragon Country? We'll play against him."

The Dragon Country players looked at each other, and a look of infinite pride immediately appeared in their eyes.

Everyone said in unison.

"That would naturally be our Brother Lin, Lin Pei."

"But he's over at the neighboring Film Crew doing a walkthrough; wait a moment, we'll go invite him."

The European players were stunned.

Dragon Country players can compete and film at the same time?

They couldn't help but marvel; not only is Dragon Country's meat delicious and tea good, but it's also a land of freedom beyond their imagination.

The European players couldn't help but be curious.

"Then how does his level compare to all of you here on the same team?"

After training with the top European teams, the Dragon Country players' sense of superiority had also risen.

"Cough... it's about the same."

"Just, a little bit stronger than us."

The European players understood.

With their current level, 'a little bit stronger' probably still means they'd struggle to even score a goal.

No wonder they couldn't even get a single point when playing against the Japanese Team.

The upcoming match will be a total crush... After the two sides reached an agreement, some Dragon Country players went to the neighboring area to invite Lin Pei.

They vaguely understood that the European teams came here because they heard that the Japanese Team surrendered and said Dragon Country's football level was the best in the world, so they came to challenge them.

However, these people were too powerful, and they weren't sure what the outcome would be when Lin Pei played against them.

But even if they lost, it would at least look better than their own defeat...
